Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
64. Until, when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at that moment they will begin to cry out [65].
[65] That is, when the divine punishment comes, those who wail and cry out are the very same people who were affluent and of the chieftain type. These are the ones who lead in denying the prophets, causing them harm, and preventing the masses from the path of Allah. And when the punishment descends, it is these same people who scream and cry out. However, when the punishment arrives, there is no longer any opportunity left for screaming, crying, or pleading. Nor can any power save them from the punishment of Allah.
